I built an armada.

Chapter 513: Strength Increases, People Stand Firm

He rushed to Xu Dongguo's office without stopping, bringing with him an assistant and holding a stack of signed agreements.

"How's the situation?"

Xu Dongguo had been paying close attention to the progress of the sales, and when he saw Zhang Zhaoxin come in, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Reporting to the chief, this sales activity was a complete success. A total of 36 Type 052Bs were sold, with a total revenue of 180 billion US dollars."

"All the agreements have been signed and confirmed."

“Three days later, the tribes that purchased the warships will transfer the funds to the account we designated.”

"After detailed calculations, after deducting the production cost of the warships and the cost of building two more production lines, the net profit this time is about 10 billion US dollars."

Zhang Zhaoxin quickly opened the folder in his hand, took a look at it, and reported excitedly.

$180 million?
Xu Dongguo was shocked to hear such a huge transaction amount.

In the past, such huge income was either obtained from selling aircraft carriers or collecting compensation from neighboring tribes, but today, it was from selling the warships produced by themselves, and they made such a huge net profit.

No wonder the Eagle Tribe is so keen on selling arms, the profits are too huge.

Looking back a few years ago, when the Navy imported 956E from the White Bear Tribe, there was endless internal arguing over the small amount of money spent, and several coordination meetings were held specifically for this purpose.

It has only been a short time and such earth-shaking changes have taken place.

It is indeed much more profitable than selling 051C.

Even with Xu Dongguo's shrewdness, he couldn't help but suppress his inner excitement at this moment.

"Commander, the money our navy has earned in the past two years is more than the total investment in the navy from its development to now."

Zhang Zhaoxin was very excited. "Our navy's business channels have finally been opened. We will finally be able to obtain additional stable military subsidies in the future."

The full set of services for the USS Gabetta for five years was sold for a total of $5 billion. The compensation paid by the three tribes totaled $50 billion. Building a complete aircraft carrier fleet for the Shayi tribe cost a total of $90 billion, plus the $30 billion this time.

After deducting all cost factors, the Navy will have a net income of $30 billion this year alone.

Calculated based on the current exchange rate of 8.27, that would be 2481 billion RMB.

Such a huge amount of income is almost as much as the total military expenditure of the three armies of Longxia for two years.

this year.

The navy are the real landlords and rich people!

Xu Dongguo was very excited. The navy’s military expenditure was enough to be spent in a short period of time, but he felt a sense of emotion.

"It's great. With the mass production of the 052D and -ton destroyers, we no longer need to worry about insufficient military spending."

"With such a large sum of money, the Navy can now do many things that it wanted to do but never did before."

"With money, we no longer need to mistreat our comrades."

After a slight pause, Xu Dongguo made the decision.

"We are finally able to improve the treatment and welfare of our comrades."

"Starting next month, the salaries of all naval officers and soldiers will be increased by 20%! Various living benefits will also increase by 20%!"

"We must ensure that our comrades eat well, sleep well, and have adequate living conditions!"

Zhang Zhaoxin was naturally very happy about the improvement in treatment of all naval personnel and he fully agreed with it.

This shows what?
The Navy is really getting better!
In the past when there was no money, the navy from top to bottom had to tighten their belts and live a very hard life.

Now everything is over, the real light boat has passed through thousands of mountains!

"Report to the chief, there is one more thing."

Then, Zhang Zhaoxin suddenly thought of something and quickly reported, "The repair work of the Varyag aircraft carrier has entered the final stage."

"It will be launched for sea trials by the end of this month at the latest. There are still many test items, but the 702 Institute has made very careful arrangements."

"The only shortcoming is that we still lack fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft."

"If such a large aircraft carrier is fully equipped with armed helicopters or multi-purpose helicopters, it would be a bit of a waste and would not have much combat significance."

Seeing Xu Dongguo in front of him fall into deep thought, Zhang Zhaoxin continued.

"Commander, I suggest that we cooperate with the Air Force and ask them to help us develop fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft?"

"We will see whether we can transform the J-10 into a carrier-based aircraft and adapt it to our aircraft carrier to ensure that the aircraft carrier can form effective combat capability."

The biggest use of an aircraft carrier is as a mobile airport at sea, and fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft are its fist.

The strike range of an aircraft carrier depends on how far the carrier-based aircraft on it can attack!
After saying this, Zhang Zhaoxin stood there, quietly waiting for Xu Dongguo's response.

After a moment, Xu Dongguo said meaningfully.

"You don't need to worry about the carrier-based aircraft."

"Our navy is already preparing."

Zhang Zhaoxin's eyes widened instantly, and he asked in great surprise: "What? Carrier-based aircraft are already being prepared?"

Xu Dongguo nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

Zhang Zhaoxin was a little dazed.

The aircraft carrier of the 702 Institute has not yet been launched for sea trials, but preparations for carrier-based aircraft have already begun?

Oh my god, this is amazing!

But soon a person appeared in his mind, and he quickly asked: "Chief, could it be?"

"Do your own thing and don't ask about the rest."

"Okay, if you're okay, go down first."

Xu Dongguo’s response made Zhang Zhaoxin very excited, and the stone in his heart fell down.

"Yes, Chief!"

"The issue of carrier-based aircraft has been resolved. I feel relieved."

After saying that, Zhang Zhaoxin turned around and walked out with brisk steps, closing the door.

He knew very well that everything concerning Su Dingping was top secret and must not be leaked. So naturally after he left the house, he restrained his emotions.

In the office, Xu Dongguo picked up the stack of contracts on the table and looked at them carefully, reviewing the contents.

But he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Especially when he saw the arms purchase contracts from the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe, he took them out separately and read them carefully for a long time, feeling deeply moved.

He still remembered clearly that the White Bear Tribe once sold the 956E to the Longxia Navy at a high price, and it was a castrated version.

If it weren't for Su Dingping, such warships would not be able to exert their due combat effectiveness, and the navy would have suffered a loss.

As for the Eagle Tribe, they were even more straightforward. They imposed a comprehensive military and technological blockade on the Longxia Tribe and frantically poached Longxia's top talents.

Now, the two tribes not only sent representatives to visit, but also directly purchased warships produced independently by the Longxia Navy.

Whatever their purpose, this is a huge breakthrough.

In the past, Xu Dongguo would never have dared to even dream that such a day would come!
No matter what, the gap in equipment level between the Longxia Navy and the two tribal navies is so huge that it can almost be described as a huge disparity.

But now, the situation has been completely reversed, and the level of advancement has been unanimously recognized by both tribes!
Xu Dongguo read the two contracts with mixed feelings and put them away.

Next, he called Liu Huaming's internal confidential phone number and reported the situation in detail.

After learning the details, Liu Huaming was also filled with emotions.

No matter what, the Eagle Tribe spent money to purchase the 052B and brought it back, which is the greatest affirmation of the navy’s current achievements!
"Fortunately, our navy was lucky enough to recruit Dingping, otherwise our navy would not be where it is today."

Liu Huaming said with great emotion that he remembered clearly that since the navy had Su Dingping, new equipment would come out almost every once in a while, and the navy's strength had made a great leap forward.

052B is the first batch of warships launched by the integrated military factory, giving the navy great hope!

"If one day our navy sells the 052D, then our navy's three-step strategy may have reached the last step."

“I’m really looking forward to that day.”

An expectant look gradually appeared on Liu Huaming's face.

The news that representatives of various tribes had ordered warships from the Longxia Navy spread quite quickly.

This actually includes the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe.

This directly shocked all the tribes on Blue Star. They were as dumbfounded as if they were dumbfounded.

"Fuck, you can actually play it like this? You really think we are fools."

"Didn't we agree to boycott and supervise? Why are everyone buying it? What does this mean?"

"The above poster, you haven't grasped the core of the problem at all, understand? The core problem is that the warships sold by Long Xia are so advanced that even the Eagle Tribe has to spend money to buy them. This is unbelievable."

"How many arms and warships has the Eagle Tribe sold to other tribes over the years? This is the first time in decades that they have purchased arms from a third tribe. My lord, times have changed. Longxia is different now."

"No, no, the times have not changed, but the Longxia Navy is changing rapidly. Perhaps Colonel Zhang is right. The Longxia Navy can really define the third-generation destroyers and frigates."

"I have to say that the Longxia Navy is now much different than it used to be. It has become a well-known arms exporter on Blue Star. As you can see, the White Bear Tribe has also started to buy some."

"In the past, the Longxia Navy ordered warships from the White Bear Tribe, but now it's completely the other way around."

In the eyes of many tribes, the international status of the Longxia Tribe has been further enhanced because of the public sale of warships this time. It is now firmly in third place, second only to the Eagle Tribe and the White Bear Tribe.

Even the former overlord, the British tribe, was not only overthrown by the Longxia tribe, but also left behind.

On Blue Star, all status based on strength has quietly changed!

The Tiexue Forum is extremely lively at the moment.

Many Longxia military fans and netizens who learned the relevant news from the Internet were shocked and excited.

Especially when he saw that the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe also got involved and purchased warships, he felt very upset for a moment.

The days when our navy was bullied by the great powers at our doorstep are gone forever.

And they also drew a conclusion from this. Even the Eagle Tribe, the number one naval power on Blue Star, decisively placed an order to purchase the warship. This shows that in their eyes, the combat effectiveness of the warship sold by the Longxia Navy has been highly recognized by them.

Even the warships for sale are so advanced, so wouldn’t the version for personal use be even more powerful?

What Zhang Zhaoxin said publicly at the naval review ceremony was naturally extremely true!
The new era belongs to the Longxia tribal navy. The Longxia navy can really lead the development direction of the next generation of warships!

All Chinese people feel deeply proud and their faces are filled with joy.

Overseas Chinese also deeply felt that after the Longxia tribe's status was improved, the treatment they received outside was different.

They are treated with more respect, and many locals will take the initiative to greet them.

The Longxia tribe's international status naturally rose, making other tribes envious.

The Longxia people also feel honored by the growing strength of their tribe, and their sense of pride arises spontaneously and rises rapidly.

In sharp contrast is the Donghuang tribe, who can no longer sit still.

Donghuang Tribe, Kyoto, in the meeting hall of the Cabinet Building.

Upon learning the news of the hot sales of Longxia Navy's warships, many cabinet ministers looked extremely gloomy and the atmosphere on the scene became extremely depressing.

Someone roared in extreme anger.

"Bakayalu, the Longxia Navy is violating the military trade rules of Blue Star. They should be severely punished. Why do so many tribes buy their warships?"

"There are clearly regulations, but the Longxia Navy is defying them. They are so despicable and shameless. They completely disregard the safety rules of Blue Star!"

"I'm so angry. Those tribes keep saying they are going to boycott and supervise, but in the end they are all giving money to the Longxia Navy. Don't they know that they are helping the evil and abetting the evil?"

"Even the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe bought warships from the Longxia Navy. Don't they know that they are aiding the enemy? Damn it, will we in the East Desert Sea have a chance to make a comeback in the future? How can we condemn this?"

"Damn it, I'm so pissed off. How advanced are the Longxia warships to drive those tribes so crazy?"

The cabinet members were so angry that they started cursing and the meeting room was turned into a quarreling market.

Of course, they only dared to hide in the corner like rats behind closed doors and curse, but they did not have the courage to publicly raise their opposition to this matter.

You know, even the Eagle Tribe has taken the lead in participating in it, and there are also many Western Alliance tribes. If they publicly condemn it, who will listen to them?
If they fail to handle it well, they might end up shooting themselves in the foot, dragging themselves down with it, and making the Eagle Tribe hate them again. Then, the frigates and destroyers that they haven't gotten yet will become something they will never get.

The head of the cabinet felt extremely bitter and was shaking with anger, but he could do nothing about it.

They didn't do anything to protest against the Eagle Tribe about this matter!

Although the Eagle Tribe signed a direct arms purchase agreement, they are now purchasing the equipment themselves, okay?

Another signatory, the White Bear Tribe, also failed.

This is equivalent to treating the agreement as a piece of paper.

The head of the cabinet looked at everyone, opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.
